AI workstations for university research groups.
We have built lab workstations and GPU systems for university research groups for more than thirty years, often around accelerators the department supplies itself. Configure a system online, or send the spec sheet or RFQ you already have and we quote it as written.
- 30+years building research systems
- 384GBVRAM in one tower
- NDAsigned before you share details
- 3-yearwarranty, lifetime support
Three ways to order
Configure it online
Select a build, the GPU count, processor, memory, and storage. The configurator validates fit and power and shows the price of every part.
Open the configurator →Send your spec sheet
Upload a spec sheet, parts list, bid packet, or RFQ as-is, including hardware we do not normally stock. We price it as written and flag any line item that is discontinued or a poor fit.
Upload a spec →Supplying your own GPUs
Departments with a manufacturer agreement can supply the GPUs. We still ask for the model and count, so the power supply, cooling, and clearance are sized around them.
Quote without GPUs →Built for lab use
Matched sets
Several identical machines built to one specification and tested to the same standard, so a lab gets a consistent set of systems instead of near-misses.
Confidentiality
Send your NDA and we sign it before we see a specification, a workload description, or what the machine is for. We do not publish customer names.
Tested as a system
Memory is tested across its full capacity, GPUs are stress-tested under sustained load, and the finished machine burns in under full load before it ships.
Operating system
Windows 11 Pro installed and updated, or no operating system at all if your group images its own machines. Tell us which on the quote request.
GPU capacity per tower
One, two, or four of the same card, each on a dedicated PCIe 5.0 x16 slot.
| GPU | 1 GPU | 2 GPUs | 4 GPUs |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, 32GB, 200W | 32GB | 64GB | 128GB |
| RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, 48GB, 300W | 48GB | 96GB | 192GB |
| RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, 72GB, 300W | 72GB | 144GB | 288GB |
| RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, 96GB, 600W | 96GB | 192GB | 384GB |
Systems with more than four GPUs, and rackmount servers, are specified directly; see AI servers and larger systems.
Paperwork and payment
Tell us what your purchasing office needs, such as a formal quote, a reference number on every page, or specific vendor forms, and we provide it. Quotes and paperwork come from the same people who build the machines. AI workstations are invoiced once the quote is approved and paid by ACH bank transfer; credit cards are not accepted for these systems.
Systems ship anywhere in the continental US from Fairport, NY. Research groups in the Rochester area can visit the bench; see our Rochester-area public-sector page, and our government and research supplier page.
Assembly, burn-in, and delivery
Each system is assembled by hand at our shop in Fairport, NY, by a shop that has built computers for more than thirty years.
Fit and power validated
The configurator checks physical fit, memory, PCIe slots, and power on every selection. The power supply is sized automatically to the GPU count and estimated draw, with a 12V-2x6 cable for every GPU.
Burn-in under load
Every system is stress-tested under sustained full load and firmware-updated before it leaves the bench, so the first long job is not the first test.
Windows 11 Pro installed
Windows 11 Pro is installed and updated before shipment.
Warranty and support
Every build carries a 3-year warranty and lifetime technical support from the shop that built it.
Quoting and payment
The configurator shows a price for every part and an estimated total, including assembly, burn-in, and testing, as the build is configured. GPU and memory pricing changes frequently, so a technician confirms GPU availability and final pricing by email, with lead time, typically within 1-2 business days. There is no cost and no obligation to request a quote.
Payment for AI workstations is by ACH bank transfer; credit cards are not accepted for these systems. An invoice with bank details is issued once the quote is approved. Systems ship across the United States from Fairport, NY, with local pickup available.
